Extra Early Outing

Sit

1st 2:  interesting morning light

We had to get on the trail really early this morning because a worker from Sun City Plumbing was coming to our place to get our cooler set up for the coming hot months.

We did our usual trek, spotting the Basset people and their hounds hiking along the ridge to the east of us.  Seems they got an early start, too.

The Sun City guy was supposed to show up between 8:30 and 11:30, but when we were driving home after our hike at 8:00 I got a text saying he was on his way.

We made it back in plenty of time to greet him.
